Help Make This LEGO Lamborghini Diablo a Reality
We love LEGO Ideas and this Lamborghini Diablo replica might be our favorite yet.
Seven Days of Dream Car Garages: Day Two by Luke Vandezande
It’s the second day of AutoGuide’s Dream Car Garage list. This time News Editor Luke Vandezande compiled his list of the 10 cars, a word used loosely at points, that he would pick if money weren’t a factor.
Video: Lamborghini Diablo GT Shoots Flames, Noxious Gasses
The Lamborghini Diablo GT is quite a rare bull indeed. Only 80 examples were built in 1999, all of them for Europe-only consumption. Seeing one stateside is a virtual impossibility (although this author knows of two such examples in the US), and hearing one rev its 6.0L V12 to redline is even less likely.
One lucky Lambo fanatic found himself standing directly behind Diablo GT #16 at a Lamborghini club meeting in Italy, and gets a face full of exhaust and flames as the driver unleashes all 575 of the bull’s ponies. Hit the jump and crank your speakers, because this is why we love cars.

World's Fastest Jeep SRT-8 Goes 9's, Has Sports Cars Scratching Their Hoods
Running 9 seconds in the quarter mile is quite a feat for any sports car. It takes come serious modifications to get a Toyota Supra or Chevy Corvette to go that fast. And just recently we reported on th e first Nissan GT-R to break the 10 second barrier. So imagine how surprised we were to hear of a 9-second SUV. That’s right, a Jeep SRT8 has gone down the quarter mile with the quickest time of 9.658 and the fastest mph of 146.72.
The high performance version of Jeep’s Grand Cherokee, the SRT-8 sports a 6.1-liter Hemi V8 that pushes out 420-hp and 420 ft-lbs of torque from the factory. Stock 0-60 is under five seconds with a top speed of 150-mph. But hey, that means absolutely nothing for this SRT-8 that’s pushing close to the factory top speed in less than 10 seconds and in a mere quarter of a mile.
Built by Lewis Performance Machine, the SRT-8 sports a 426-stroker built to handle 1500 AWD horsepower. Details are naturally a little hard to find, but the owner reports the obvious: upgraded fuel system, drive line and rear end. He does let the public know that a 75-shot of NOS is used to help get the Jeep off the line while the trans brake and 2-step is still being tested. The beast is tuned by Johan at Diablo and rolls on Nitto NT05Rs on the stock rims.
The video after the jump shows the SRT-8 running a 9.87, which the owner claims is on 13 psi and the 75 shot. The 9.659 was with 16 psi and the 9.658 was at 19 psi with the boost tube blowing off. Naturally the Jeep SRT-8 had a lot more in it, given that its 9.658 pass was at a lowly 139.36 mph vs the 146.72 it hit with the 9.659 pass.
It should only be a matter of time before the SRT-8 hits Orlando Speedworld again, so we’ll keep you guys up to date if they enter the record books with an 8 second pass.
Make sure you check out the video after the break!
